Looking for documentation for Upfront

Hello - I read through a step by step guide for modifying the existing Spirit theme but I need additional documentation - for example, how to create a new, reusable layout for information pages. Does such documentation exist? Is it possible (or reasonable) to take one of the existing themes, remove all the regions and create my own custom layout/template? I don't find anything that helps define how to create a custom header or sidebar and us it on every page. Thanks!

P.S. Does WPMU plan to continue to support and develop the Upfront platform? I see very little new coming out recently and I would hate to commit to a builder only to see it discontinued.

That "series of how-tos for Upfront" is the same one I referenced. It does a very good and thorough job of explaining how to do specific things to modify the example theme (in that case, Spirit). However, those how tos don't explain how to "create a new, reusable layout" or if it is "possible (or reasonable) to take one of the existing themes, remove all the regions and create my own custom layout/template?" Or "how to create a custom header or sidebar and use it on every page."

Unfortunately, the PDF is even less helpful. If there is nothing else in the way of documentation I may be out of luck? Unless of course, someone there working for Support could answer those questions directly?

Regarding custom layout/template, at the current time is not available and it will be available in the future releases. For now you can do it manually by adjusting the Upfront core files like @Vaughan mentions in this thread.

Yes, we will continue to improve and making the Upfront theme better. We are planning to release soon a new Upfront version, but I can't give you an ETA for this to prevent disappointment if a deadline is missed.

Thank you @faydra_deon for chipping in and posting all these tutorials here!
